A multiple is nothing but wires connecting patch cords together. Since
the outputs of most MOTM modules have 1K series resistors on them, a
standard also used by Electronotes expressly for this very reason, they
can in fact be mixed together in a multiple. The current draw will be a
little higher, but this does not present a problem. Voltages combined
by this means do not sum in the same way that they do in a mixer. If
you take the example of two VCO outputs being patched together, each
presents a 1K load to the other. This means that each output level is
50% of normal, which has a useful effect of limiting the overall
levels. It also means there is a 50/50 mix of the two signals. Mix
three and each would contribute 1/3 of the result. Of course you have
no control over the proportion of the mix. For that you would need to
use a mixer module with pots to adjust the relative levels of each input.
